Been busy working, so taking the time to make a build log so anyone interested can learn from my mistakes! :lol:
First off, if you plan on doing Uber Eats, your potential success is very much in the hands of fate meaning first off, you are NOT going to make any money unless there are deliveries to be made, you can and will be at the mercy of fickle habits of those making the orders, broken or inadequate support from CSR's that either cannot or will not support you enough to make it worth the time.
If you come into the job more with the attitude "wow, I already ride anyway, now I can get PAID to ride? SWEET!" VS paying the bills, you're probably kidding yourself that this will be anything more than a nice part-time side job that can be fun and give you good exercise.
This is my second version of the delivery bike, but since the first one (Vision R-40 Recumbent) was fraught with too many difficulties and compromises, I will just skip to the better version, the E-Zilla reborn as E-Delivery Cruiser!
So far what I have used is:
Micargi Bronco 3.0 Stretched Cruiser https://www.bikeberry.com/26-micargi-bronco-3-0.html?keyword=&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=Cj0KCQiAoJrfBRC0ARIsANqkS_6Q_hFeNmjLtV0IkU8lZpXXw1HmJGP1uVaAQttVvb_T5o4vseMyuy0aAi_6EALw_wcB (surprisingly decent steel frame, no idea about this seller, just first thing to pop up on google search)
BBSHD (W/ Hot Rod Settings from Lunacycle) https://lunacycle.com/bafang-bbshd-1000w-middrive-kit/

Custom built Fixed Gear wheel-set by Sugar Wheel Works in Portland OR https://surlybikes.com/parts/wheels/hubs (If I had it to do again, I would look for a hub that would accept normal threaded 3/8" axles, not that these are bad, but options for using spacers and such are very limited)
